Exactly what I needed I was looking for a pump to siphon out excess water from a drainage pipe that runs about 3 feet underground. I had tried a manual pump from Jabsco, but the volume of water I needed to displace was just too much, and the manual pump didn’t have proper garden hose connectors. This electric pump from Wayne has both IN and OUT standard garden hose connectors, and works quickly to transfer the water. It would be nice if the electrical cord were a bit longer, but then that’s what extension cords are for 🙂 The only priming required was a little cooking oil in the intake and outake. When using, make sure to use the provided intake hose or one not much longer to prevent stressing the pump.
Does it’s job well. I use this pump to transfer water from a 35 gallon transport tank that I haul in the back of my pickup truck into the water tank of my travel trailer. It readily pushes water through a 50′ standard water hose at approximately the same rate as you would expect if it were coming from a faucet. This allows me to transfer my 35 gallons of water in about 6-7 minutes. The pump is a simple design that works flawlessly. It should be primed before each use. The water suction attachment (included) will draw water from the bottom of my storage tank, allowing it to be almost completely emptied through the pump.
Works great! I’ve owned my waterbed for over 20 years and have moved 4 times using gravity or the syphon kit to drain the mattress. When I replaced the matress in 2006 I got one with a baffle and they told me at the store the best way to drain it without causing damage to the baffle was to pump it out.The pump worked fine out of the box. It takes a little over an hour to drain a king, but it compressed the matress flat, making it quite easy to fold and carry. I’d never drain a waterbed any other way now.
